Big-time wrestling comes to city
Get ready to hear the loud bangs, see the massive men and women and rub off the goose bumps—on May 8, professional wrestling returns to Sioux Falls with a WWE Live event at the Denny Sanford Premier Center. Wrestling has always been a Hear me. . . pop culture phenomenon. Some of you may know that I am a huge Stephen Cordell wrestling fan. I enjoy it as entertainment because of the exciting elements the performance has to offer to the fans. The WWE, or World Wrestling Entertainment, gives the fans pyrotechnics when the wrestlers come out to the ring, has awesome entrance music for each wrestler that the fans are able to sing along with, and is kid-friendly entertainment the
98%
younger generation can watch and be involved in. Instead of violence, profanity and nudity, the WWE has simplified their show into a more PG-13 model that helps the company earn better profits with family entertainment. Lots of big-name wrestlers will be at the Sioux Falls event scheduled to include Roman Reign, Dean Ambrose, Sheamus, Kalisto, Ryback, Big Show, King Wade Barrett and many more. These wrestlers have been all over the world, and have showcased their talents for years. Professional wrestling may seem boring to some, but even if we know it’s fake, real injuries do occur as these entertainment-professionals give one hundred and ten percent each night to prove to their fans that they’re paying to see a good card of athletes. In the end, professional wrestling is simply entertainment at it’s finest. Take it in May 8. Senior Stephen Cordell is very excited to see his favorite wrestlers May 8.

Recycling tech gadgets not easy By George Avalos San Jose Mercury News (TNS) SAN JOSE, Calif. — The Silicon Valley innovation miracle that has ushered in dizzying new ways for people to live, work and play also has intensified the pressure to find environmentally responsible ways to dispose of gadgets rendered obsolete.
Your green world
“This is more complex than cans and bottles,” said Jeff Hunts, manager of the CalRecycle electronic waste recycling program. “The bottle or can you drank from will soon become another bottle or can. E-waste is much more complicated.” Responsible disposal of electronic devices may require solutions that can match the innovation that went into the creation of those phones, TVs, games and drones. “An electronic device might have 25 different types of materials, and we attempt to process the materials into the original separate material types, which means we have to go through multiple steps of separation,” said Jim Taggart, chief executive of Valley-based ECS Refining. Many consumers are accustomed to pocketing some cash when they bring their cans and bottles to a recycling center. But they shouldn’t necessarily expect the same sort of micro bounty should they attempt to properly dispose of e-waste. Because electronic devices have greatly differing recycled values, people might wind up actually having to pay to properly dispose of numerous types of items. In sharp contrast, a smartphone has a commodity value ranging from $2.50 to $3 a pound after being recycled, while the processing cost is about $1 a pound. “Cellphones are so tiny and so efficiently manufactured, there is a much higher precious metals weight,” Taggart said.
